2008 digitally remastered and expanded edition of this classic album by British post-punk legends Killing Joke featuring 9 bonus tracks. With frontman Jaz Coleman's intense persona and the band's edgy yet atmospheric wall of sound, Killing Joke always stood out amongst their contemporaries. "Night Time" was originally released in 1985 and features the hits 'Love Like Blood' and 'Eighties'. Bonus tracks include four tracks from a Kid Jensen Session, the non-album tracks 'A New Day' and 'The Madding Crowd' plus mixes of 'Blue Feather', 'Love Like Blood' and 'Kings And Queens'. In 1985 Killing Joke continued to move from strength to strength with the visceral "Night Time". The band's edges still displayed something of the brittle surface of earlier records, but its playing had become more polished, Jaz Coleman's vocals more intelligible and wrought with bitter irony, and the charged energy of its signature sound was now being produced with a more sophisticated hand."Love Like Blood" is truly the album's centrepiece, Geordie's guitars arcing out like rubylasers, etching a piquant melody above Paul Raven's percolating basslines, Coleman's preening synths and the gargantuanthrust of Paul Ferguson's mighty drums. "Multitudes" occupies a similar space but replaces the earlier song's massive forward motion with probing interludes of guitar and percussion. Also present here is the New Wave/punk/dance thrash of "Eighties", all raw guitar sarcasm and rhythmic thunderclap. The near-majestic atmosphere that infuses "Night Time" paved the way for the even more accomplished "Brighter Than A Thousand Suns".
